Sleeping

• Each infant’s diaper is changed before the child is put to sleep.
• Each infant’s schedule for sleep may be different, therefore; we are flexible.
• Each infant’s method of going to sleep may be different.
• Some children have a pacifier for naptimes.
• Many children enjoy being rocked to sleep; others enjoy having their heads stroked.
• Sometimes a story or soft music will help the infant to wind down.
• No child will be put in a crib with a bottle or a stuffed toy.
• Children are placed on their backs to sleep.
• Each infant has his/her own labeled crib. Sheets are removed weekly and when soiled.
• Upon waking, some children need some extra time being held to wake up. The child is cuddled which gives that child the extra time needed.
• After nap, the infant’s diaper is checked, then the infant is ready to play.
